    Like i sad earlier lets hope the next driver uses his bus instead of his hand....kid will learn a harsher lesson.

    So, let me get this right, you're advocating running over anyone that gets in your way, instead of saying "little bolix," and getting on with your day?

    Never said run him over, just a bump. He'll remember the safe cross code

    Says a lot about how things have changed. If I had have gone and told my parents that a bus driver gave me a slap in the mouth I would've got another one. He didn't do it for nothing. It didn't do me a lick of harm either.

    I have a memory burned into my brain, of leaving the school grounds when I was about 13 or 14, and was having the craic with a few of my mates, when one of them went to throw an apple core or something at me, I jumped backwards and kind of spun around, and ended up with my nose literally an inch away from a passing bus, if it had been 2 seconds earlier I'd have been under the wheel. I legit get a shiver up my spine thinking about it to this day. I can only imagine the fright that the bus driver would have gotten if he had seen it.

    on the video, I can see why the bus driver flipped the lid, a big crowd no doubt jeering and heckling. Doesn't make what he did, the right thing though,

    A good example of how being brought up in a violent or abusive environment normalises and perpetuates the acceptance of it?

    The boy put himself and others at risk by his own stupidity who would blame the driver for reacting the way he did. If the bus driver swerved to avoid him and went into into a pile of traffic imagine all the fatalities it could well have caused so a little clip around the ear is harmless by comparison.

    I assume that you're regularly getting out of your car to slap/punch pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists on a daily basis so....?

    I wasn't brought up in a violent environment. I was brought up in a responsible one. I can count on 1 hand the amount of times either parent raised a hand to me. Just knowing that they could was enough of a deterrent to stop me or any of my siblings being little sh1theads. we all have good lives none of us have had run ins with the law we're in satisfying jobs. Those are not the results of a violent or abusive upbringing.
